OPEN ACCESS POLICY

This journal adopts an immediate open access policy, meaning that all published articles are freely available to anyone without subscription fees or access barriers. This policy is grounded in the principle that scientific knowledge should be openly accessible to support the exchange, democratization, and advancement of scholarship on a global scale.

For authors, the implementation of open access provides several strategic benefits. First, scholarly works can be accessed freely by readers worldwide, thereby expanding their reach and potential utilization across disciplines and geographic boundaries. Second, authors retain the copyright of their works, typically under a licensing scheme such as Creative Commons, which ensures proper recognition of intellectual ownership. Third, open access significantly increases the visibility of publications, which in turn enhances opportunities for citation, strengthens academic reputation, and broadens the overall impact of research.

In addition, open access publication often allows for more rapid dissemination, as articles can be published online immediately upon acceptance without awaiting print issues. Finally, the digital format of open access journals eliminates spatial constraints, enabling authors to include extended data sets, supplementary materials, or complex visualizations without technical limitations.

Thus, the immediate open access policy not only facilitates broader public accessibility to research findings but also reinforces academic recognition and ensures that scholarly contributions are more widely disseminated, acknowledged, and utilized both within academia and in the wider society.
